I totally read the comic growing up. It's very relatable because during the teen years, a lot of Asians are simultaneously both proud and ashamed of their heritage. They'll want to separate themselves from FOBs but at the same time claim Asian pride. It's a weird time to grow up, especially as a 1st gen.

Playing outside and manual labor at home. Remember hearing it can take a whole day to prepare a meal.

Obviously great to see it going back up.

We learned that we're screwed for any and all future pandemics because a large percentage of our population is dumb as fuck.

I saw a dating profile the other day that said the "bravest" thing she did was travel to three continents during the height of the pandemic.

Stupid and selfish, yes. But brave? Hell no

It bothers me in particular because it's clear the villain wouldn't have gotten past the trials on their own. Either they aren't smart enough to figure out the puzzles or they just don't have the hero's IT factor. The item is safer behind the trials than in the hero's hands who will inevitably get caught.

Bad guy easily takes item from hero after he does all the leg work.

WHY IS THIS A TROPE?

Maybe it's my shit eyes but my main knock with d3 was I couldn't tell what the fuck was happening on screen at end game with all the effects popping off. They dial that back down to d2 levels?

I feel like you don't even need to know. It's the same as D3 in that you're just watching your right click wreck everything. The games not a Soul's game where you have to pay a lot of attention to what the enemy is doing.

D3 gameplay is fine. Just... give us interesting loot to work with and combo. And don't make the story and villains feel like a Saturday morning cartoon.

Something about D3 gameplay just isn't fun for me. On paper, it should be more interesting than D2 since there's a bit more to it. I think I may have just outgrown the genre.

Hope you feel better

What? Don't you love girls who love to travel and are fluent in sarcasm.

I looked up KFC in China out of curiosity, and they altered quite a bit to have a Chinese flavor. Looks really good tbh

looks almost indistinguishable from Breath of the Wild.

I never felt like that
To me it was just more tedious trying to gear in Diablo 2 because of how random the loot tables were

Like I remember get the dagger that gives 100% on my barb ealry on but it was all but useless to them but was perfect on my necromancer

You can trade in D2. Even if you don't need that dagger on your barb, you can trade it for something your Barb would want or rune currency.

what made Diablo 2 amazing was the economy

d4 has no economy much like d3

Yeah there was this urge to get rich in D2 that isn't as strong in D3 or D4. It's like more gamble-y. Like maybe I'll get a Mara's this time!

Bump

Not very good. The opening cinematic got me hyped then when I got to the first house and the goofy dialog started it was downhill from there. The game feels arcady to play like Diablo 3, when
I play D2R or Path of Exile it's way better to control I can't describe it.
The skill tree is a joke, they brought back the awful your power comes from legendary items from D3 instead of taking the time to flesh out a great skill tree and have gear help boost your stats and attributes. The graphics and music are great though.

It's not even a tree. It all goes down the same path. It's like I mentioned in the OP, just picking what ability you want for each button as you go down the path.

Considering there have been multiple scenes of carnage happening in crowded places with everyone just still doing their thing I don't even question it. Like they're partying while John is murking dudes and everyone is like "cool"

That scene took me out for a sec. Those guys dancing without a care in the world.

Because it's a stupid thing to say

Smashingpmkns posted...

I genuinely enjoyed it and didn't care much for 3.

What made the difference for you?

People are saying it's more like Diablo 2 than 3, but I think that's only true for the art. The gameplay felt just like Diablo 3 to me. One generator. One spender. On ultimate. One movement skill. Two more situational type damage abilities. The skill tree is more of a cover up since it's the same thing. You pick one for the category and the extra skill following it is just like those rune modifiers.

On paper, I can see why that's more interesting than Diablo 2, but it just doesn't grab me for some reason. I don't think I would be able to stick with it.

What animation style is this? It kinda looks like the Dragon Ball Super Hero movie where the characters stick out.

Remember when OP was trying to get us to buy GME at $108 lmao

Nope. I work as a server so I do not get a raise. I just hope people will pay more based on the economy and the raise in how much our food costs..

Are you getting bigger tips? People are tipping a percentage on higher priced food, and the tipping standard for food is higher now. 15% is considered a low tip now right? It's on the lower end of suggestions on the machine.

1.5%, I guess I don't know how to win like the rest of CE

It's more in your company than you tbh.

Rate of inflation for 2022 is 6.5%.

Capitalism

No. Communism is. But no nation has been able to pull it off successfully. All so called communist nations are frauds. Real communism is the earth government in star trek. That's our goal. But humans currently are not ready for it

Classic

I really liked Arcane.

How bad are the ads on basic? Considering just getting that one.

Nope. I had to walk or take the bus.

Remember CHAZ?

Of course. Defund the police was an idiotic movement. REFORMED the police should've been the cause to begin with but people all wanted to do their hot take slogan.

Entitlement is present in every generation.

Yeah From games are far more fun to explore.

oh man I forgot Last of Us was a thing.

I liked the first season of Cobra Kai, but didn't like where the series was heading so didn't watch the rest. I don't like horror for the most part.

I'm thinking about it again to watch the new season of Dragon Prince. I might watch Beef once it comes out as well, but nothing else sticks out.

He's pointing out that everything you hate about modern games was the same in older games. Sans the crippling nostalgia.

Cherry picking a game doesn't prove a point. Movie type games were so common now that I almost quit. Movie type games were an exception back then.

Don Bluth proved this wrong in 1983, when Dragon's Lair was playing a videogame and watching a movie at the same time, and losing cost you an entire dollar.

Honestly, what Don Bluth did in 1983, is exactly what's wrong with video games forty years later. It's all presentation and no substance.

No idea what you're talking about

I had that feeling until I played Sekiro, and learned the reason I was feeling that way was because too many modern single player games are too easy. There's no threat of you ever losing so it's more like watching a movie than playing a game.

How is it?
